Ben is pushing 60ish, but as I figure his vitality as the ability to move, remain flexible, and strong, he looks and acts more like he's in his 30's, 40's. The constant physical demands of adventuring do more to keep you young than the bindstone, imo. Of course, he's developing a trick knee and the occasional stiffness in an rp sense. In an ooc sense all characters as they advance and age are getting better, not older. I have no plans to retire Ben until he perms - despite his grumblings. :p
